Syllabus

Criminal law—Final, appealable order—A conviction on one count of a multicount indictment is not a final, appealable order when other counts remain pending after a mistrial—When a criminal defendant is convicted and sentenced on fewer than all counts of a multicount indictment and the state is prevented from retrying the defendant on the remaining counts due to a finding that the defendant is incompetent to stand trial, the incompetency finding operates to sever the charges and the defendant may appeal his conviction and sentence.
